Default Suspension Install QA

Can someone tell me if my tie rod is installed correctly? Do I bolt the end joint on top or below the steering rod that is connected to the spindle? I have an AIM and believe I installed accordingly but, it doesn't look right to me. Logical geometry tells me it should be on top. It would also help if someone could post some pictiures of a spindle assembled. Thanks.

Thanks guys. The AIM is a good piece of gear but doesn't show the detail in spindle assembly.
I got a lot done today to include installing the suspension and finishing the cooling and alternator. Hopefully it fires this weekend.
